Self-Indulgence

Although I try to publish those photos that I think others may enjoy seeing, sometimes I practice self-indulgence. That is usually the case with my cat photos. In bad weather when I cannot go out for pictures, I choose my favorite indoor subjects: The Basil, Rosemary, and Echo. (The first two are shown above. Echo, our third and oldest cat, was probably asleep somewhere.) This photograph was taken several years ago with a much older camera whose settings were not familiar to me, hence the lack of clarity. Still, I can’t resist their pose or the expressions on their faces.
Sweet and Innocent…Or an Olsen Twin?

Nope! I haven’t lost track of days. This is just a bonus Sunday post, since I referenced this photo in a post on my regular blog and it seemed a good time to post it on here, too.
Sometimes Echo startles me with how young he appears, but much of the time he shows every minute of his 12½ years. Which is why I love when I capture him like this. To further emphasize his youthful appearance, I desaturated this photo somewhat. Don’t let his age fool you, though — he thinks he’s hot stuff.
Okay, I know this sounds weird, but for some reason, in this photo he bears a slight resemblance to one of the Olsen twins, and ever since I noticed that about thirty seconds ago it’s been freaking me out somewhat. Maybe it’s the huge, pleading eyes. Is it just me? I’m really, really hoping so.
